It’s weird to think about gardening when it’s supposed to get into the low teens tonight, but it’s already time to be planting starts inside.

Here is my garden plan for this year. Lots of new beds to fill!

I’m trying lots of intercropping this year (planting complimentary crops together in a bed). I’m also paying attention to crop rotation and trying to plant cover crops (including legumes) in the winter or in alternating years.

I’ve ordered my new seeds, but am ordering fewer this year due to seed saving last year. (By the way, our local seed library is starting! Here is the web site.)

And it is so nice to still be eating fresh arugula and lettuce in January!

My broccoli is seeming very healthy, but no actual broccoli heads yet. Soon, I think.
